Chronic Pain is a widespread problem throughout populations in the industrialized world. “June 29, 2011 — More than 100 million Americans suffer from chronic pain at a cost of around $600 billion a year in medical treatments and lost productivity, according to a report from the Institute of Medicine (IOM).” Put another way, 1 in 3 Americans live in chronic pain. Natural Chronic Regional Pain Syndrome Treatment is often palliative and does not get to the root cause.

In this article we would like to discuss one of the major causes of chronic pain. An article that discussed all the sources of chronic pain would be voluminous, so we will narrow our discussion to pain that is associated to upper cervical spine injury. Unfortunately our current health care paradigm is mechanistic in its approach. All too often mainstream medicine looks at secondary and tertiary causes in pain treatment. Modern medicine ignores what may be the underlying causes of the pain and then masks the effect with medications.

In October of 2014, Dr. Tom Forest, Hubbard and Milman D.C. published a case study indicating that RSD, a regional pain syndrome, recovered following Blair Upper Cervical Care. The patient was a 10-year-old boy suffering from classic RSD symptoms.

RSD typically develops following a blunt trauma to one of the limbs. Research published by Hubbard, Forest And Milman showed improvement in the frequency and severity of RSD symptoms following a course of Blair Upper Cervical Care.(1) Blair Upper Cervical is a procedure whose goal is restoring normal bio-mechanics of the Upper Cervical Spine to restore normal nervous system function. While it is not a cure-all it has shown great promise in a multitude of chronic health conditions.

What Does A Blair Upper Cervical Doctor Do?

C-1(atlas and c-2 (Axis) are the top two bones in the spine that house the brain-stem. This is the most critical area to health and body function.

Blair Upper Cervical Doctors are trained to locate, and correct subluxations (spinal misalignments in the neck that interfere with the bodies function). Neurological tests are preformed that determine whether or not the patient has an upper neck subluxation. Once it is determined that a subluxation exists, then a precise set of x-rays are taken to determine how your atlas(c-1) or axis(c-2) has misaligned at the joint. Since the bones in the spine meet at joint surfaces and these joint surfaces are mirror images of one another, the doctor can determine exactly how much you have misaligned and what direction. After this information is determined, a precise gentle correction is made to restore normal function. Each week that passes that the adjustment is holding allows for healing.
